The worst and best thing about Central is that the professors know you and expect you to do well, which in turn means you are held more accountable for every action you make.

lack of diversity and distance from a large city

It's not very family-friendly, at least for the student parents.

Pella is a very small town so you have to go to Des Moines, about 45 min away, to do anything interesting on the weekends, there aren't a lot of stores open after 6 on any day of the week and so if you need to buy something a 11 pm you are out of luck, which can be irritating. Other then the location the only bad things about Central College are rather trivial.

The worst part is that there isn't always much to do on the weekends.

Central College is a small private institution. Unlike universities, we don't have an extraordinary amount of college students.

The housing. It's not bad but it could be better in some cases and I think more students who want to live off campus should be allowed to.

I don't like that we HAVE to live on campus all four years because that doesn't give us any experience for the real world.

The worst thing about this school would be the amount of activities off campus to do on the weekends. It is kind of hard to find things to do here on the weekends, but that is how people here learn to make their own fun.
